Compare Nissan interim service quotes from specialist garages

Nissan is one of the most popular car makers in the world, but few people know it also used to make spacecraft engines. The Lambda 4S-5, an experimental carrier rocket, was developed by Nissan; in 1970, it launched Japan's first satellite into space. Over the years, the brand has bolstered its success by entering a strategic alliance with Renault, a French manufacturer, and Mitsubishi, also based in Japan. The fastest car by Nissan is the GT-R, which can do 0-60 in less than three seconds - a genuinely eye-watering speed.

An interim car service - sometimes called a minor car service - involves inspecting several key car components and systems, including a safety assessment, engine oil change and fluid check.

The car service schedule for an interim service is every six months or every six thousand miles. As a driver, following this guidance is smart because if you don't, you may not realise a problem is developing, and it could cost you more money later down the line. Interim services can catch potential problems early.

The difference between an interim and full service is the number of components checked; a full service is more comprehensive. Likewise, the difference between a vehicle health check and interim service is that the former only includes the inspection of various parts. In contrast, the latter may consist of an oil change and the topping up of other fluids.
